Hmm
That's a tricky shape - didn't think it was a bowfront


Maybe some eggcrate covered in fibreglass bug screen, and a couple weights on top to keep jumpers from lifting it when they launch

I've had wrasses jump hard enough to lift the eggcrate, and small fish can easily fit through the holes

My preference for tops is always lexan (1/16" material). Easy to cut and shape with tinsmith snips, easily drilled, can be bent and formed for rigidity (unlike acrylic), and excellent light transmission.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Where do you get your lexan? Home depot has 3/32" material but its like $100 a sheet. Little more then I want to spend on a tank cover.
